Ness Point in Lowestoft has a black and white compass like circle on the ground. It has info on points at which the sun rises and sets and also how many miles it is to many capital cities. Post image

I thought of you when I landed in Lowestoft, Suffolk. When I twitched Purple Sandpipers, this was nearby. The most easterly point in England, it seems πŸ’œ

Their 'voice' is wonderful, isn't it? Whichever call or song. I heard a few in Suffolk.
I tried to record the sounds of a House Sparrow colony. Some experiences just can not be captured, hey?

Long walks on shingle are tough going. Amazing stuff with the Zitters. I scoped it out but the fog never lifted whilst I was there. I will have another bash if they start their song/flight displays πŸ™

I thought of you @clarkwgriswold3.bsky.social I ventured out to see if the fog was lifting yesterday (it wasn't) and heard a really close sounding Tawny. Followed by a chorus of squawking Jays πŸ˜…

Long-tailed Tit, Humes Leaf Warbler and a Shorelark

The fog in Suffolk finally lifted today. Nice to see what was near my digs, incl LTT flitting about after insects.
A couple of class year ticks: my third Humes Warbler, 5 Shorelarks & single Snow Bunting.
Ended on 85 species with a beaut of a Barn Owl at Carlton Marshes just now

This rubbish was at my digs. Not sure whether to recycle it or burn it πŸ€” I didn't notice the ladybird 🐞

Kittiwake, which is a bit like a seagull 😁 And a Purple Sandpiper, which is a wader

Day one of my jollies in Suffolk. Year ticks of Purple Sandpiper & Kittiwake. Yet another Shore Lark dip πŸ’›
51 species so far. Barn Owl would be very welcome on the one hour walk to find my digs. Wish me luck πŸ™

Not sad, and I'm glad you posted it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known.
There's all kinds of moral questions, I guess, but the best would be that we stop creating these monstrous 'humans' in our societies

In my defense, I had just read about him telling a reporter how he thought the 2 girls would respond to being kidnapped. Clearly recounting how they had responded. *Welling up*
